    The interior of Glimmer Cafe is absolutely gorgeous and honestly feels nothing like South Florida, which is a fun surprise. Aesthetics wise this place is doing everything right. The ordering is counter style so you grab your own table when one opens up, which works fine but can be a little tricky if you are coming with a bigger group since the space is quite small. Food wise everything was good but nothing really stood out, the one exception being the matcha strawberry cloud latte which was really good and worth coming in for on its own. I think during winter when the outside seating is more enjoyable this would be a really nice spot to sit and hang. For now it is a cute place to pop into but not somewhere I would go out of my way for regularly

    Best latte of my life
    Shannon W.

    Easily one of the cutest cafes I have ever been to. The food and drinks were incredible too. I started off with a specialty latte, which was delicious! Then I split a turkey sandwich with a gf of mine. The bread on the sandwich was delightful, super fresh. It is a small place, so I gather it gets super packed during the in-season here, but if you haven't been, definitely give it a shot, the ambiance it incredibly cool! Note; there's also not a ton of parking, like most places near Atlantic in Delray!

    Avocado toast

    This place is beautiful and definitely very good for pictures. The coffee is ok at best which is unfortunate and the food was mediocre as well. I'd swing by again if I was in the area and give it a second chance and try something else to give it a second chance.

    Coldbrew

    My mom and I decided to drop in here as I've heard from so many people that I needed to try it. It EXCEEDED my expectations 100%! The decor is phenomenal and unique. Once you step inside, it's like you're entering an alternate realm. Almost like you're stepping into a fairy tale. There's trees and chandeliers on the interior of the restaurant. It's absolutely divine. Service was pretty good. We waited online, placed our order, and then a staff member brought it out to us. For drinks, I ordered a coldbrew with almond milk. My mom ordered the maple kiss latte. This came with all natural carmelized maple syrup, black salt and pure maple crystals. We ordered the eggs, ham, and cheese croissant. it came with scrambled eggs, provolone cheese, ham, and chives on a buttery croissant. We split this. In addition, we split the divorced eggs tostadas. There were two corn tostadas with black refried beans, sunny side up eggs, red and green salsa as well as crema. All of the food was truly 10/10 and delicious! Wonderful experience. I can't wait to come back again!

    Burrata avocado toast, dulce de leche latte, and vanilla matcha

    I was in town for a bachelorette and we needed some breakfast and coffee before our flight home. We stopped at Glimmer Cafe and this place was perfect. It's def for the girls! It's so aesthetically pleasing and cute. It can be easy to miss on first glimpse, but look for doors with gold cursive that reads Glimmer. We found this gem on Yelp. It was pretty packed on a Sunday morning. You order up front and get a buzzer for your food and drink. They'll bring your food/drink to you and bus your table. We were a group of four and thankfully got a table not too long after we arrived. Everyone got cute drinks and really enoyed them. I liked my vanilla matcha. If you prefer sweeter matcha, be sure to ask for ways to make it more sweet, but this was very earthy. The bride loved her dulce de leche latte. I also loved my avocado toast with burrata, it was so yummy. I highly recommend this elevated casual place for brunch or coffee.

    Our bill -- it's pricey but comparable to the area and quality food & portion sizes.

    See photos of the unassuming exterior and beautiful glimmering interior. It's a quaint and charming brunch spot that has counter ordering, find your own seat and they bring the food to your table. Excellent service and food. I had the Prosciutto & Poached Eggs Avocado Toast (w/o arugula) - so good w/perfect cooked poached eggs & a lot of avocado!!! The bathroom is clean and the staff are all friendly. Will continue to come back even though the parking situation isn't great... TIP: Parking isn't widely available, limited paid spots to the right of the entrance, w/a few free spots in front, so look for parking on side streets and don't park at the Italian restaurant next door bc they will tow your car.

    This is a really cute upscale feeling cafe a couple of blocks off the avenue. There are definitely mixed reviews, and this one is no exception. First off, the ambiance is remarkable. While the outside is very unassuming, the inside is a whole experience. It feels like a modern take on an old school tea house -- with fancier elements mixed with sly irreverent nods and bits. The tree centerpiece is really cool, but each table and wall has extra details too. There are also outdoor tables, but the inside is where it's at. The staff is also super friendly and gave some great dessert recommendations. The desserts are fantastic. They're so flavorful, fresh, delicious, and well made. You can tell there's a lot of love put into it. Ive gotten some of the teas and other fun drinks and they're also very well done. The rest of the food, not so much. I got the steak sandwich, and the steak was definitely on the verge of spoiling. I do not recommend at all. The quiche was fine, not very good. I've heard the coffee is not great either. I definitely recommend stopping by for a tea and dessert, but grab food somewhere else.

    This place was BUSYYYY at 11am on a Sunday. People in and out nonstop. They have a really cool inside with beautiful decor. You order at a counter and then you find a table to eat at. There's plenty of outdoor seating as well, a bit congested inside if you're sitting by the line area. The service was kind and quick despite the chaos. All of this totaled around $60, so not a cheap place, but everything was yummy so it was worth it for a once in awhile stop.

    Pistachio cherry iced latte
    Robyn S.

    This is a beautiful cafe with delicious coffee and a decent menu. We stopped in for brunch on Sunday and found the decor to be quite charming. It's very instagramable with an over the top baroque vibe. You order at the counter and they bring it the food to your table for orders to stay. For 2 speciality coffees and 2 breakfast entrees after tax and tip it was $50+ dollars. I had the pistachio cherry latte and my husband did the cinnamon toast latte. Both were incredible. He had the breakfast burrito which was tasty but oddly watery. I did the divorced eggs tostada which was delicious but a bit expensive for a vegetarian option. We were impressed at how clean the staff kept the restaurant (wiping tables immediately) and how they handled some difficult customers sitting near us (with courtesy and solutions to what we would have called silly problems). We would come back again for coffees or pastries or to try the sandwiches.

    You have to admire the work and attention to detail they put into this place... and it's in such a great part of town. Could there by any more out of the way, laid back spot? I went early yesterday, a Friday morning, to avoid the crowds... it was great as this place isn't very big, so imagine it can be loud inside. It was so nice out, I enjoyed one of the many tables (10 or so) they have lining the street. It was a pleasure sitting outside, enjoying my coffee and EGGS, HAM & CHEESE CROISSANT (scrambled eggs, ham, provolone, chives, buttery croissant). The sandwich was excellent... made to order eggs... the croissant itself was fantastic! The quality of the croissant makes me want to get back there and try some of their other baked goods. The items in the cases, esp. the Fruit Cake, look amazing. You can tell a lot about an establishment by the quality of their silverware. This place impresses. I provided a photo. VERY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

    I stopped by Glimmer Cafe recently for a leisurely brunch and came away thoroughly impressed by the ambiance, service, and drink offerings. Atmosphere: Walking in, I was struck by how the café balances elegance with warmth -- vintage décor, subtle chandeliers, and a leafy accent tree give it a kind of European vibe. The location in the Pineapple Grove Arts District sets it nicely off the usual spots. Service: The staff were friendly and welcoming. I appreciated that they let me know when things were busy. One minor hiccup: there was a bit of a wait at peak time, but it was clearly communicated. Food & Drinks: The specialty lattes are the standout -- creative flavors, nicely balanced (not too sweet), and beautifully presented. For example, the lavender latte I had felt both playful and refined. What could improve: * Parking/Access: From what others mention, parking is limited and finding a spot took some time. If you're coming during a busy hour, allot a few extra minutes. * Wait times: At peak brunch hours it can get busy. Arriving early or off-peak might give a smoother experience. There are many that sit at tables for a long period of time well after they are finished. * Portion/Price: A few reviews noted that while the presentation and flavor are high end the prices are as well. Bottom line: If you're in Delray Beach and looking for a café with character, excellent coffee, and brunch fare in a stylish but not overly stuffy setting -- Glimmer Cafe is a fantastic pick. I'll absolutely return (and I suspect to try more of those signature lattes).

    Looking into the room. And that's the owner's son.

    W O W !! Must admit that I'm not well informed about the many restaurants and cafes in east Delray Beach. And when our dear friend Linda K suggested we have lunch here, I immediately went to yelp and google to check it out. And what we found upon our arrival was not done justice. First, all the tables outside were occupied, and it was 12:45 on a Friday. We walked inside and all the tables were also occupied. Primarily with women, and I remarked "oh, this is a place where "ladies who lunch" get together to enjoy a meal, late, coffee and some homemade muffins cakes and other scrumptious treats. That didn't stop us from joining the crowd. We went to the counter and placed our order with a pleasant and efficient young man. We weren't rushed, and had the opportunity to ask questions. Our food was brought to the table by one of the young food runners, all of whom had smiles on their faces and genuinely appeared happy to be working there. And that's important to me. A happy employee makes for a more enjoyable meal. And unfortunately at many cafes and restaurants the servers appear harassed rushed sweaty and unpleasant. Not at Glimmer. A man standing near our table surveying the room of about 16 tables gave us a smile and introduced himself as Estuardo, the owner/chef. Only opened for 7 months, he clearly was pleased at the crowd and eager to engage in convo. It's always positive when the owners are at their restaurant and "on the floor", making sure all was running smoothly. We also met his son, Sebastian, who was equally eager to talk and was a pleasure to speak with. Educated. Committed. And working very hard as a food runner. The environment is eclectic. There are all sorts of "stuff" on shelves, on the walls, and hanging from a huge tree located in the center of the space. I'll include photos, as attempting to describe them would be an injustice Linda had a steak salad and it was humongous- the amount of salad as well as the steak. My husband and I each ordered sandwiches, his was turkey and mine chicken breast. These were delicious and also huge. And the bread, toasted to a crispy finish, was delicious. Whether baked there or supplied by someone, it was pieces of heaven in my mouth. And I don't exaggerate. Glimmer cafe was a great find and we are surely returning. Next time I'll eat at one of the outside tables, avoiding the loud interior, if it is occupied as I described. The street on which it they are located gets very light traffic and the tables are not anywhere near the curb. Overall this was a 5** experience. Check them out and you'll not be disappointed. (City parking lot across the street)

    They have so much specialty coffee, I'll have to come back over and over just to try them all. My favorite so far, hands down, is their Fig latte. I've never had a latte with fig syrup, and it was mouth watering! It wasn't too sweet, it was just the right balance and it was so smooth. I never am a fan of places that end breakfast before noon, and unfortunately I haven't been able to try any of their breakfast dishes yet, which look wonderful. Price wise, it is expensive. The coffee is worth it because of their unique flavors and combinations, but I have yet to decide if the food is. But $17 avocado toast and $10 PB&J has me raising an eyebrow skeptically. It's quite quaint on the inside, though very small and packed. Noise travels easily so it's very loud; if you're expecting to get work done, you're better off grabbing something to go and finding a quieter cafe.

    Fig cappuccino is so delicious

    I went during the week for lunch and you can find parking on the street. It's a very small cafe.

When you first walked in you are literally transported into Wonderland. It is so whimsical! We spent a good 10 minutes just looking around the restaurant and taking pictures it was so cute! Our waitress, Alana, quickly greeted our table and was so adorable and happy! We even commented to her that we've never seen a server be so happy and she told us about all the perks of working there. We quickly decided what we wanted to order, and then patiently waited for our food. Much to our surprise they had singers in the restaurant! Forbes serenaded us a few times and then, Alana belted it out some Disney Tunes! Both of their voices were incredible and it was a nice treat. The food arrived, and it was scrumptious! The birthday girl had the key and said it was so delicious! My fiance had the waffle and ate every bite. I had the stuff Nutella and pistachio croissant and it was good, although it seemed over toasted. All in all we had such a beautiful birthday brunch at this Cafe. It would be perfect for someone with children or grandchildren. It was like stepping into Disney without ever leaving Delray Beach!

    So I am not new to Georgian cuisine, we have a great place back home in Mt. Kisco, but my mother…read morehad never had Georgian before so we gave it a go. Restaurant itself is in a bit off the beaten track in a strip mall with mostly non-food businesses. We were there on a Thursday evening which was not busy time. Clearly a family run business with one person cooking (the husband?) and one person serving (the wife?). When we arrived around 730 there was only one other table occupied and no one minding the front of the house so we seated ourselves. It was over 5 minutes before the server appeared from the kitchen but once we got her attention we were given menus. Had to remind her to bring us water. The restaurant itself was very homey and pleasant. On the food side of things we were very satisfied, absolutely delicious . We had the Eggplant Rolls and a Khachapuri Adjaruli (the one that looks like a boat with the egg yolk on top), both were very tasty. I had the Lula Kebab (land and beef kinda like a Kofta Kabab) and my mom had the Chicken Kebab. Both were delicious. I give the waitress credit because when I was ordering I almost ordered the fried potatoes as a side, but she made a face which I correctly intercepted to mean it was gonna be too much food for the 2 of us, which would have been true. Def too one leftovers. Would def recommend checking out this place, food is really good.

    My husband and I are making it a mission to try new cultural cuisines/restaurants and I have always…read morewanted to try Georgian food - however the only thing I really only knew about it was that they had big dumplings. Seeing those was enough for me to want to try! We went with two of our friends who have also never tried before. We went on a Sunday afternoon and arrived to a fairly empty plaza. There was one other table full besides ours and they seemed to be of Georgian background so that was already an indication that this restaurant was going to be authentic. We told our waiter that we have never had any kind of Georgian food before and to please give us recommendations. He was very kind and gave us great recommendations for newbies. We ordered: * eggplant rolls (fried eggplant with walnut-garlic paste) * khachapuri adjaruli (boat-shaped bread filled with cheese, butter, and an egg yolk) * veal khinkali (Georgian soup dumplings) * pork kebab * chkmeruli (chicken in creamy garlic sauce) We enjoyed - every - single dish. Oftentimes, eggplant can be a bit slimy, but however they prepared this eggplant, it was perfect. This is a cold dish. The khachapuri adjaruli was very rich. It was a bit messy to eat as there's no way to cut into this without the mixture oozing out. We saw the table next to us had ordered a different version of this (just with cheese alone) and they had no issue with a mess so I think it's because we had the one with the addition of butter and an egg yolk. Even though it was messy to eat, it was DELICIOUS. Honestly, this could've just been a full meal itself as it's incredibly filling. Just a suggestion to the restaurant to perhaps use a serving dish with edges for this particular khachapuri though to prevent spilling! The khinkali was our favorite of everything ordered. It was 5 very large dumplings in one order. Being of East/Southeast Asian and used to smaller sized dumplings, seeing how big these were was a treat! The waiter kindly taught us how to properly eat these (hold the stem, flip it upside down, take a nibble of the skin, sip out the soup, then fully eat these whole thing). Next we had the pork kebab. We originally wanted lamb, but they had run out so we opted for pork instead. Usually a lot of places tend to overcook pork so it is dry, but these were cooked so well! It was served with some kind of tomato sauce that paired great with it. The chkmeruli was ordered by our friend who absolutely loved and obliterated the dish. I don't think I need to say more. Overall, we had such a wonderful meal and experience and definitely recommend this place!

When we stopped by for lunch, they were fairly full inside -- which meant 4 of the tables were taken. It was a one-man band as the owner/chef was doing everything by himself. He was waiting on everyone and preparing the food, as well. Oh, and btw, he is from Paris. I started with an iced decaf coffee. The coffee was very good -- not bitter like the famous chain everyone goes to. I also ordered a sandwich of turkey with cranberry sauce and brie. It regularly comes also with ham, but I had him leave this off. They were out of baguettes so our choices of bread was a panini or a panini (!) -- so we got a panini. My husband ordered a tuna sandwich with veggies. I think the guy thought he'd ordered tuna with cheese, however. It took a bit to get our sandwiches as the chef was making crepes and other food for the rest of the customers. We were okay with this -- although hungry. Both sandwiches were served hot from the panini press. And both sandwiches were thoroughly enjoyed. We didn't get any dessert, but several items looked appealing. If you are looking for an authentic local cafe experience and are not in a rush, this place is for you.
